I’m sharing a fantastic dessert from The Boyfriend today. On Wednesday, I tried to make a Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake. I failed. Massively. The Boyfriend felt so bad for me, he made this divine Chocolate Cheesecake! That’s what I call true love. Especially because The Boyfriend has nothing with desserts. He did it just for me ❤

I always say chocolate is the answer for anything and I stick with it. I did feel bad about my failed cheesecake, but when I came home to this delicious surprise, I felt happy again. But most of all because it was such a sweet gesture.

What we need:

Crust

150 g Oreo

150 g speculoos / Biscoff

80 g melted butter

Filling

220 g melted dark chocolate

250 g cream cheese

200 g sugar

4 eggs

25 g cocoa powder

Ganache

350 ml heavy cream

400 g dark chocolate

Note: best use a spring form for cheesecakes.

How to:

Crust

Crush both Oreo’s and speculoos

Mix together with the melted butter

Spread evenly on the bottom of the cake pan and push down

Set aside in the fridge

Filling

Preheat the oven at 180°C

Mix together cream cheese, sugar and cocoa powder

Beat the eggs in a separate bowl

Add the eggs to the mixture

Poor the batter on top of the crust

Tap a few times on the counter to clear out any air

Bake for 40 minutes

Leave the cheesecake to cool down a bit

Set aside in the fridge to cool completely

Ganache

Heat the heavy cream

Cut the chooclate in pieces or use chocolate chips

Poor the heated cream over the chocolate and let it sit for about 2 minutes

Wow Sarah, this cheesecake looks delicious, and chocolate is one of my very best friends! Now if John made this I would have a heart attack and just croak on the spot. You are a fortunate girl to have such a talented boyfriend!

In Belgium we call it Speculoos (I think we invented it :p) and in the UK they call it Biscoff. I can’t really describe what it is exactly but you can use an all oreo crust or substitute the whole thing with graham crackers that are regularly used for cheesecake crusts 🙂 I hope that helped. Super glad you like it although you don’t do desserts 🙂

How lovely, you are one lucky girl! Your chocolate cheesecake looks heavenly, I like how your BF used Oreos and speculoos in the crust and the ganache looks so glossy. Thanks for bringing such a delicious dessert to the Fiesta Party 🙂

I am a lucky girl, indeed 😀 I’m so happy you like it. I’ll definitely tell him. Maybe he’ss bake some more if he knew how much you guys like his desserts ^^ The speculoos gives the crust a very interesting taste 🙂 Happy Fiesta!
